The Official Snake Men Alliance Evil-Lyn Thread

THIS Evil-Lyn. This is the time where she teamed up with Rattlor and Kobra Khan to get Zodak's staff to free King Hsss. In canon with the bios and well known to fans.

I propose that this "Snake Men Alliance Evil-Lyn" is similar to She-Ra 2.0, a totally optional non-sub figure where getting both versions makes the ULTIMATE 200X Evil-Lyn figure. Snake Men Alliance Evil-Lyn would be the exact same figure as Battleground Evil-Lyn 1.0, but would have these differences:

Otherwise it could come with the same helmeted Evil-Lyn head, same knife and same staff. To get her unhelmeted head, fans would still need to get Battleground Evil-Lyn.

This future variant preserves all the good stuff that Battleground Evil-Lyn brought to the table while bringing us something new (and in CANON) to the table. Instead of fighting the fans of Battleground Evil-Lyn, Toyguru and the Four Horsemen, why not create an optional non-sub variant that works along with them?

So I open this up for discussion among ALL fans. No vitriol, no name calling or bad blood between warring .org factions here. Battleground Lyn is here to stay and we don't want to change that. This is a look to the future.

Soooo, you want a Winter Weather Evil-Lyn (Or WW Evil-Lyn for short)? Calling her Snake Men Alliance Evil-Lyn (or S.M.A.E.L) seems a bit pretentious and overtly extraneous to me. But if you want a cold weather Evil-Lyn, that's cool. But she has to come with mittens for me to want her...

I felt that BG Evil-Lyn was the "meeting us halfway" figure, designed to get out a version of Evil-Lyn for those who didn't care for yellow vintage Lyn. While not quite 200X Lyn, she did have a few pieces that seemed to be setting up for something like what you're proposing down the road. (almost as if it was planned this way intentionally... hmm.. )

I am a huge fan of her "Snow Cloak" Snake Men look so I would love to get this version of her eventually.

The Snow Cloak is just a cover...

The key idea is that this gives us the Evil-Lyn that only five fans out there wants using canon accessories. Fortunately for this idea, the Snow Cloak appeared in the infamous Marzo witchsmack episode for a second time.

That would be an easy pass for me. At this point I'm all tapped out of
Evil Lynn variant suggestions and/or complaints, especially when it comes
to 200X. The only variation I will even desire of Evil Lynn at this point is the
1987 film interpretation of the character.

I would love to have this version. I would likely display her without the cloak though to just have her as my MYP Lynn. I loved the look of her dress in that design and hope it shows up at some point in this line.

What's the hang up with Evil-lyn? That one is just a Battleground Evil-lyn with a fur coat. Other figures need to get made, fellas. Can't we just move on and start obsessing about Mara, the Sorceress, or some other female?

Simple...evil girls attract. Prudes (good girls) only bring boredom.

If she is done on a 2.0 female buck with these addition, I would buy her.

Mobility it one of the key selling feature of this line. Reusing the inferior 1.0 buck after the release of the new one on BG Teela, She-ra 2.0, Catra, and the Star Sisters is just wrong. I don't understand the background logistics in this decision.
